Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0031793A1] In a non-volatile memory comprising a region (2) for core memory cells and a peripheral region (4a) on a substrate (6), a method for improving the electrostatic discharge (ESD) robustness of the non-volatile memory comprises the steps of lightly doping the source region (18) and the drain region (20) of a peripheral transistor (12) in the peripheral region (4a) with a first n-type dopant, providing a double diffusion implant mask (10) having an opening over the region (2) for the core memory cells and also an opening (8) over the peripheral region (4a), and performing a double diffusion implantation through the opening (8) over the peripheral region (4a). In an embodiment, the step of performing the double-diffusion implantation comprises the steps of implanting a second n-type dopant comprising phosphorus into the source and drain regions (18) and (20), and implanting a third n-type dopant comprising arsenic into the source and drain regions (18) and (20) subsequent to the step of implanting the second n-type dopant.
